The Horrors Video For Who Can Say & Full Album Stream

Everybody that knows me, knows that I am a huge fan of those psychobilly fiends, The Horrors. When I got up this morning and saw that a new video had been released for a track called Who Can Say, I was prepping myself for some true madness. However, it seems to me as if these guys have taken some tranquilizers, joined a tribute band to The Strokes, and attempted to cover a song by The Horrors.

The above isn’t necessarily a bad thing as the more melodic direction will help them gain some new fans, but the initial charm in my opinion of The Horrors was that they just didn’t give a rat’s piehole about scaring people away…They were true to their name. Enough venting though as I’m still really into the song, despite the band name attached to it, so I’m sure you will too (as everything I like, is cool). I just like sounding like a bitter fan mad at the change of a band’s direction, because I believe progression is overrated.

If you’re like me and you can’t wait until May 4th to hear the new album Primary Colours by The Horrors, than NME has your back. Stream it in it’s entirity here!

Mick Boogie and Curtis Santiago - HAVE MERCCYY!

I love to wake up and see some free goodies waiting for me in my mailbox. Today’s auditory treasure came in the form of a download link and a swanky press release from Mick Boogie and Curtis Santiago promoting their mixtape HAVE MERCCYY! Being as I saw that Uncle Jesse and Michelle were featured, I just had to give this a shot…and I am glad I did.

Any artist that can take a song that was already written and perfected by another artist, and put their own stamp on it, has my respect. These 2 musical juggernauts earned my respect 10 fold. Whether it’s taking Kings Of Leon’s Sex On Fire and giving it a Prince like flair, or recreating The Killers’ track Human and recording it as it should have been the first time, you are never really able to pinpoint a distinct style that these 2 have. As was noticed in a post track interview that each song seems to have, each song has it’s own “character”, which keeps things interesting.

Just to keep you all busy, there’s a promo video below, a stream and download of one of my favorite cuts from the album, and a link that’ll let you download it all in it’s entirity. HAVE MERCCYY!

Beck Covers Sonic Youth - Green Light

In honor of Record Store Day, Beck and Sonic Youth got together thanks to Matador to press 2,500 copies of a killer 7″ vinyl split. On one side, Sonic Youth covered Beck’s Mellow Gold cut Pay No Mind (Snoozer), while Beck covered EVOL track Green Light. The 7″ seems to have sold out pretty quickly, but if you’d like to listen to Green Light covered by Beck, you can do so below. Hopefully we can hear Pay No Mind (Snoozer) covered by Sonic Youth soon. When it hits my inbox, I will get it up here ASAP. Until then, enjoy what I’ve been able to track down so far!

Mobb Deep & Sigur Ros - Shook (Emancipator Mash Up)

Emancipator-Shook (Mobb Deep & Sigur Ros Remix)Peanut butter and jelly.

Baseball games and beer.

Starsky and Hutch

Mobb Deep and uhhh… Sigur Ros?

Ok, so that last one might not seem like it would be a match made in heaven, but Emancipator has proven to us that it is. While Havoc and Prodigy might not agree on everything, I’d be willing to bet that they can agree that the Sigur Ros soundscape melted with Shook Ones Pt II is nothing short of amazing. Give it a listen below and if you want to hear some more of Emancipator’s one of a kind ambient tracks, Uh Oh Disco has 3 more for your listening pleasure.

Silversun Pickups - Panic Switch Remixed by Chin & TroubleMaker

Laced with epic electronic drum fills and fade in/outs that make you think you’re losing your hearing, Panic Switch by Silversun Pickups has been remixed. TroubleMaker got together with Chin (aka Kristian Rile) to give the shoegaze rockers track a trance-like treatment. The blend is quite intoxicating and definitely worth a listen if you need to take a few minutes for yourself to relieve a bit of stress. Hell, even if you’re not stressed and you have a hankering for some good ol’ electronic shoegaze, this will easily fulfill your auditory needs!

Bjork Gets Remixed By Switch

If I were going to hop in a Mars bound space ship flown by Buck Rodgers, and it would be a 5 minute 15 second journey, I know what would be playing while on this mission: Bjork’s Nattura, remixed by Switch. This gem of a remix takes you from warp speed, to cruising, through turbulence, and then lands you without a scratch on your head. This could also be used as the song that plays during the Space Mountain ride and I wouldn’t complain. Regardless, sit back, crank up your speakers and get lost in this insane remix.
